Every sky: Poems

McQuilkin, Eleanor A

Antrim House

This fifth book of poems by Rennie McQuilkin depicts love&#39s labors and delights, moving from sensual delights to more problematic moments in the course of true and untrue love, and arriving in the end at a sort of balancing.

Learning the Angels

Some of the poems in Norah Pollard's first book present a compelling portrayal of her father, Seabiscuit's jockey. But more than that, they show her to have inherited his love and understanding of animals and appreciation of wilderness, which in her case takes the form of the tidal salt marshes and beaches where the Housatonic River flows into Long Island Sound. The scenes and denizens of this region come vividly to life in the poems of Leaning In.

Joan Joffe Hall's third full-length poetry collection presents a life's worth of writing and reflects the author's feminist stance as well as her humanist concerns and Jewish heritage. The poems are by turns outraged, elegiac, lyrical, and comic.

In Angled Light

Gorgeously and honestly depicting the author's passionate and painful youth in Bermuda, the poems of Edwina Trentham's first book show the compassionate fury and troubled love she felt toward those closest to her.

McQuilkin, Rennie

This third poetry collection by Pit Pinegar tells the story of a love affair, its beginning, middle, end, and new beginning. The poems, replete with life's "quotidian miracles," are gorgeously sensual and at the same time philosophical and mystical. The "transmigration" mentioned in the title underscores an element of psychic communication that is quite extraordinary. This is a wholly life-affirming book and one that no reader can peruse without being changed.

The Physics of Transmigration

Pit Pinegar

It is 1873, and Matty's cousin, Neely Allen, is now a teacher in Massachusetts. Her life seems fairly settled until she gets exciting news of a summer school about to be opened by the eminent scientist Louis Agassiz. When Neely joins the group of famous scientists and teachers at Agassiz's school on a little island off the coast of Cape Cod, she finds romance, adventure, and mystery waiting for her. "Compelling, a real winner... Pitches the reader headfirst into a spellbinding tale of mystery, romance and science." - Olivia Vehslage, 5th grade student, West Hartford CT. "Neely [is] a young woman with a passion for knowledge, justice, and her own independence." - Barbara Gopas Gubbins, School Library Director, West Hartford CT.

In her second volume of poems, Norah Pollard tells of her despairs, delights, and famous father, Red Pollard, Seabiscuit&#39s jockey. His love of wild things, the poems proclaim, is much like his daughter the poet&#39s. Directly and indirectly, these new poems draw on the wonderfully varied experiences Norah Pollard has had during a many-faceted life: she has been a folk singer, seam-stitcher, nanny, teacher, solderer, and print shop calligrapher. As poet, she has received unusual acclaim. She is one of the few poets to read twice in the Sunken Garden Poetry Festival and has been delighting audiences throughout New England for many years. While studying with Dick Allen at the University of Bridgeport, she received the Academy of American Poets Prize, and for several years she was editor of The Connecticut River Review. Norah Pollard lives in Stratford, Connecticut.
